Cerebellar hemorrhage caused by remote neurological surgery

Intracranial hemorrhage usually occurs as a complication of hypertension, coagulopathy, or trauma. In rare instances, remote cerebellar hemorrhage (RCH) may complicate supratentorial or spinal surgery. Retrospective case series study. We describe three cases of RCH complicating spinal and cranial surgical procedures associated with cerebrospinal fluid hypotension. Remote cerebellar intracranial hemorrhage may complicate neurosurgical procedures in which cerebrospinal fluid hypotension occurs.
